Not asking for medical advice but does anyone know what focaccia is?
I think my wife has it and I'm worried that it's contagious.

Told my mother in law that and she said she had it last year.

Any body have any ideas on how to treat it homeopathetically?

12. Can I just drive by it instead?
Or maybe drive over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge? Sort of a diluted Verranzo?

8. Get it checked before it turns into a bad case of full blown pizza.
Whatever you do, don't put olive oil or herbs, especially rosemary, on it.

10.  if it was preceded by a yeast infection.....
then she definitely has it. Put a towel over her immediately, in front of an open fire place for a couple of hours. Make a poultice of garlic, onion, and tomato.....she will be ready to eat directly after applying poultice.

14. Focaccia is a flat oven-baked Italian bread, which may be topped with herbs or other ingredients.

15. I'm hoping that he knew that...
and was being silly. It's kind of tater's style so I'm pretty sure that was the case.

17. Yeah, I should have figured that out.
It's been a long day and I came home to find the Lounge full of threads that are thinly-masked call-outs, some of which are still ongoing for reasons befuddling.

The aggression sensor is a bit sensitive right now.

18. Oh we all can be in a mood and read that into somebody's post if they don't have the appropriate
smilies. I should use smilies more often than I do I know.

19. It is an interesting word.
Clearly comes from focus, Latin for fireplace, hearth, but the word foca doesn't seem to mean oven in Italian. At least not nowadays.

'Oven stuff.'
